Abstract

Pre-voters are a group that will prepare to become novice voters in the next few years; it is important to prepare them to become intelligent and rational voters, one of which is through the existence of the Election Smart House. The research design employed a qualitative descriptive method. The researcher describes in-depth and comprehensively the activities of pre-voter political education at the Election Smart House of the Pekanbaru City of General Elections Commission during the Covid-19 pandemic. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation. Research informants include the commissioner of the General Election Commission of Pekanbaru City, the Elecivicction Smart House of Pekanbaru City manager, and Pancasila and Civic Education teachers teaching at Senior High Schools in Pekanbaru City. The results showed that during the Covid-19 pandemic, from 2020 until now, the activities in the Election Smart House were not very active. It was noted that during the pandemic in the last two years, there were no visits from students to the Election Smart House of the Pekanbaru City owned by the General Elections Commission or visits from the City’s Election Smart House to high schools in Pekanbaru. Therefore, to overcome this situation, the Election Smart House manager initiated a creative idea by procuring Voter Education Podcasts in the Election Smart House by inviting resource persons and broadcasting them through the Pekanbaru City KPU (General Election Commission) YouTube channel. This activity is one way to educate the public without violating the health protocol and an effort to keep the Election Smart House as the center of community political education, especially students as pre-voters.

Abstract

Election Smart House (ESH) is an election organizer innovation designed to improve pre-voter political literacy among students. However, the operation and management of the ESH as a community voter education center is not operating well at present. As a voter education center, ESH provides various attractive services, facilities, and programs. The research design employed a qualitative descriptive method. The researcher intended to describe in-depth and thoroughly the ESH service as a voter education center in Dumai City that strives to promote students' political literacy. Observation, interviews, and documentation were employed in the data collection process. The research informants included Dumai City Election Commission commissioners, Dumai City election smart house (ESH) managers, and Dumai City high school civic education teachers. The study results indicate that ESH services consist of (1) the publication of ESH activities in the mass media and (2) an invitation from the General Election Commission of the City of Dumai for the public, community, or school to visit ESH. ESH can serve as a forum where the election community can discuss elections and democracy. Voter education for students through ESH is a strategic step in educating students about election and democratic materials since ESH offers students materials and additional services that attract visitors.
